Juniper JN0-480 Questions Answers

Device A serves as a spine in an IP fabric. An IP fabric is a network architecture that uses a spine-leaf topology to provide high performance, scalability, and reliability for data center networks. A spine-leaf topology consists of two layers of devices: spine devices and leaf devices. Spine devices are the core devices that interconnect all the leaf devices using equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routing. Leaf devices are the edge devices that connect to the servers, storage, or other network devices. In the exhibit, Device A is connected to four leaf devices using multiple links, which indicates that it is a spine device. The other options are incorrect because:

• A. leaf is wrong because a leaf device is an edge device that connects to the servers, storage, or other network devices. In the exhibit, Device A is not connected to any servers, storage, or other network devices, but only to four leaf devices, which indicates that it is not a leaf device.
• C. super spine is wrong because a super spine device is a higher-level device that interconnects multiple spine devices in a large-scale IP fabric. A super spine device is typically used when the number of leaf devices exceeds the port density of a single spine device. In the exhibit, Device A is not connected to any other spine devices, but only to four leaf devices, which indicates that it is not a super spine device.
• D. server is wrong because a server device is a compute or storage device that connects to a leaf device in an IP fabric. A server device is typically the end host that provides or consumes data in the network. In the exhibit, Device A is not connected to any leaf devices, but only to four leaf devices, which indicates that it is not a server device. References:

The cabling map is a graphical representation of the physical connections between the devices in the data center fabric. It shows the status of the cables, interfaces, and BGP sessions for each device. You can use the cabling map to verify and repair the cabling before deploying your blueprint. Based on the web search results, we can infer the following statements:

• Apstra can use LLDP data from the spine-to-leaf fabric devices to update the connections in the cabling map. This is true because Apstra can collect LLDP data from the devices using the Generic Graph Collector processor and use it to update the cabling map automatically. LLDP is a protocol that allows devices to exchange information about their identity, capabilities, and neighbors12.
• Apstra can use LLDP data from the leaf devices to update the leaf-to-generic connections in the cabling map. This is true because Apstra can also collect LLDP data from the leaf devices and use it to update the connections to the generic devices, such as routers, firewalls, or servers. Generic devices are devices that are not managed by Apstra but are part of the data center fabric23.
• You must manually change the cabling map to update spine-to-leaf fabric links. This is false because Apstra can use LLDP data to update the spine-to-leaf fabric links automatically, as explained above. However, you can also manually change the cabling map to override the Apstra-generated cabling, if needed24.
• You must manually change the cabling map to update leaf-to-generic links. This is false because Apstra can use LLDP data to update the leaf-to-generic links automatically, as explained above. However, you can also manually change the cabling map to override the Apstra-generated cabling, if needed24. References:

To implement remote user authentication for the role-based access control of your Apstra server, you can use one of the following methods: TACACS+, LDAP, or RADIUS. These are the protocols that Juniper Apstra supports to authenticate and authorize users based on roles assigned to individual users within an enterprise. You can configure the Apstra server to use one or more of these protocols as the authentication sources and specify the order of preference. You can also configure the Apstra server to use local user accounts as a fallback option if the remote authentication fails. The other options are incorrect because:

• D. SAML is wrong because SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is not a supported protocol for remote user authentication for the role-based access control of your Apstra server. SAML is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between different parties, such as identity providers and service providers. SAML is commonly used for web-based single sign-on (SSO) scenarios, but it is not compatible with the Apstra server.
• E. Auth0 is wrong because Auth0 is not a protocol, but a service that provides authentication and authorization solutions for web and mobile applications. Auth0 is a platform that supports various protocols and standards, such as OAuth, OpenID Connect, SAML, and JWT. Auth0 is not a supported service for remote user authentication for the role-based access control of your Apstra server. References:

The graph query output shown in the exhibit is a JSON representation of an interface node and its properties in the Apstra graph database. Based on the output, we can infer the following statements:

• The output shows a LAG connection. This is true because the interface node has a property called lag_mode which is set to lacp_active, indicating that the interface is part of a link aggregation group (LAG) that uses the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to negotiate the link state and parameters12.
• The switch in the output is a Juniper device. This is true because the interface node has a property called if_name which is set to ae2, indicating that the interface name follows the Juniper naming convention for aggregated Ethernet interfaces34.
• The interface has an IP address assigned to it. This is false because the interface node has properties called ipv4_addr and ipv6_addr which are both set to null, indicating that the interface does not have any IPv4 or IPv6 address configured2.
• The interface has tags assigned to it. This is false because the interface node has a property called tags which is set to null, indicating that the interface does not have any tags associated with it2. References:
